SCHAEFFLER GROUP
Nano Power is proven to reduces the total cost of ownership of heavy vehicles and machines across all sectors by 5-10%
Summary and conclusions of test results
Nanol lubricant additive was tested at Schaeffler Group in order to assess the influence of Nanol on formation of WEC (White Etching Cracks) in roller bearings. The test reached a running time of t = 422 h. Failure originated from the surface area of the bearing and was not caused by WECs. Consequently, the oil with Nanol reached at least a tenfold WEC lifetime in comparison with the reference oil (WEC formation at 30-42 h) at mixed friction conditions (at the FE8-25).
STRONG EVIDENCE FROM
REFERENCE CASES WITHIN MINING APPLICATIONS
Results:
For oils in belt drive gear
› The temperature and vibration was normal
› Normal viscosity and particulate
› No wear fund on the gear box and excellent appearance of the gear
For sieves for mining
› The temperature and vibration slightly decreased
› Exchange period of the grease increased (from 18 hours to 3.5 days)
NANOL TEST AT POWERPLANT
Two tests at powerplant have both showed a significant savings in fuel consumption (2.2 – 2.5%).
